“How can I treat my knee pain?”
My knee has been hurting me for almost 2 years, since my car accident. But, the MRI and other tests show that everything is okay. What can I do to treat this pain?

Have a pain management specialist evaluate the knee through a comprehensive history taking and a thorough physical examination to determine whether the pain is coming from the internal or external structures of the knee. This might entail use of diagnostic nerve blocks such as genicular nerve blocks; injection into the knee joint; or into one or more of the several bursa structures associated with the knee. Only once the source of the pain has been identified and isolated can treatment begin in earnest.

See an interventional pain management physician as the back can and frequently does refer pain to the knee.
You might be an appropriate candidate for a radiofrequency ablation of the knee.
